I think at this point it's best to define what a subculture is. Initially I thought a subculture was something that wasn't popular; not considered mainstream. After Googling "subculture" however I have a better insight.

Drifting, unfortunately, come into two categories. Those who do it professionally on the track and those who choose to use the public roads to get their kicks. Both forms are dangerous, but street drifting (here on referred to as streeto) is highly illegal in the UK. This often makes it difficult to get friendly enough with drivers that they will let you record their activities in fear that they may get prosecuted if those records get into the wrong hands.
BMX is totally legal and there are a lot of subforms of it. Freestyle BMX will be my focus if I choose to take it any further. I believe it is the most accessible and most exciting form of BMX. There is a lot of raw energy, and fashion is a huge side of it that has developed over the years. This would tie well in with i-D, because as highlighted in their brief "i-D is all about fashion culture".
